I don't have any illusions anymore. The illusion that rock 'n' roll could change anything - I don't believe that. I've changed.
I never took a grant or borrowed a penny from anybody. It was partially because I didn't really know how to do that, but secondly, my pride never would have allowed me to. In the beginning it was about doing it the right way, on the merits of the music.
